    Bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with a cocktail
    Eric D.

    Great breakfast sandwich and nice outdoor seating to enjoy the weather. Recommended neighborhood spot with friendly service.

    Cheese and Potato
    Olivia S.

    Recently visited Dooby's for breakfast on a trip to Baltimore after it was recommended as a great brunch spot! On a weekday, I was surprised to find the place practically empty at 10 am. You order at the counter, and they bring your food to you when it's ready. The service at the counter was not great. I didn't feel very welcome, but the food came out quickly at least. The vibes inside were super cute, and the breakfast menu is an eclectic collection of Korean fusion dishes. I got the cheese and potato burrito with a side of kimchi potato salad. The burrito was delicious and generously packed with ingredients. I also loved the kimchi potato salad, even though it was kind of a weird breakfast side choice. I would definitely love to come back and try more of their breakfast offerings!

    Stopped by for a coffee & quick breakfast after a girls who walk Baltimore event! Sandwiches were good & the spiced latte was okay! Service could have been a bit friendlier ... but it was a decent cafe! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

    Challah French Toast and Banh Mi

    At one point during the pandemic, I was ordering their pies and cookies way too much. I haven't been a Dooby's in a really long time. Because it's owned by Korean restauranteur, Phil Han, the menu has a lot of Korean fusion items. My friend and I went for brunch recently, and I was actually really disappointed that I didn't get a brunch item. I decided to get a bahnmi, and it just was not very good. The Matcha was also overly milky. I didn't even taste the Matcha at all, and the pork belly on the bahnmi was not rendered correctly. The staff is super kind and helpful but the food just wasn't very good. My favorite was probably the kimchi potato salad because who doesn't love a potato salad? It is a large area and I was shocked to see so many people working here on a Saturday so I do love that this place exist exists. I'm very disappointed because I used to love Dooby's and will definitely be coming back to give it another try. I also feel like the vibes have shifted. I feel like it used to feel more unique but now it just kind of feels like a general coffee shop with nothing unique.

    Spicy garlic chicken bowl
    Diandra L.

    Upon my recent visit to Baltimore, Dooby's was walking distance from my hotel so I found myself here for both breakfast and lunch during my stay. For my first visit, I opted for one of their bowls. I love that you can customize it with your base, proteins and sauces. I opted for a blend of greens and brown rice with the spicy garlic chicken. It was packed with veggies and flavor and I loved it. The next day I popped in for coffee and a homestyle breakfast. Also solid. I enjoyed visiting Dooby's and I think its a great spot to grab a bite and pop open your laptop (on the counter seats).

    Chai Latte
    Megan C.

    A great option for working, coffee, and breakfast in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood. I was staying nearby at Hotel Ulysses and posted up at Dooby's for two hours to get some work done. The staff here is super friendly and the order at the counter take a number vibe really suited my needs. My almond milk chai was serviceable and I felt the pepper jam on the bacon egg and cheese was a little heavy handed, but overall I enjoyed everything. Fast wifi and working is only allowed in the front part of the cafe, which I think is great. Would recommend!

    Banh Mi
    Sarah S.

    This was a nice stop on the way home from Artscape. Parking can be difficult, but if you look far enough you should be able to find something. The cafe is cute and counter service only, but they bring your food to you when it's ready. Although there was a long line at the counter, it went very quickly and the food was brought out very quickly. I ordered a banh mi with spicy garlic chicken with a side of hash and a s'mores cookie. While the chicken was very juicy and all the makings of a good banh mi were there, the ratios were a little off. The meat flavor was overwhelming (get your money's worth I guess?) and I wish there were more pickled vegetables. All in all it was pretty good and certainly filling. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and were really yummy. The s'mores cookie was thin and chewy. I would come back and try the banh mi again, perhaps with tofu next time.

    Steak, Egg & Cheese Sandwich
    Melinda S.

    Dooby's was close to our hotel so we stopped in for breakfast. It's a nice open space with a good amount of seating. I saw several people there working or studying so seems a good spot for that. You can order at the counter. The staff were all nice. We chose to share a steak, egg, and cheese sandwich. You can choose how you'd like your egg cooked so we of course opted for a nice runny egg! The sandwich was large and very tasty. I noticed they also serve ramen, buildable rice bowls, and sandwiches in addition to their breakfast options. They also had some yummy looking sweets in a case. Overall, we both liked the food and ambience here and I will return!

    Pumpkin Spice Latte and Spicy Korean Street Style Noodles
    Simriya S.

    I think this was the best pumpkin spice latte I've had in a LONG time. So smooth and delicious. The korean noodle bowl was amazing, and the pork belly was made to perfection! Everything came at a timely manner and the staff was super friendly. The place is super cozy and cute as well.

    I love the coffee here but from time to time I'll get the matcha latte which is delicious! The servers are always very friendly and the orders come out quickly. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and you'll always find folks chatting, working, or just generally hanging around inside I haven't yet tried the full good menu but it's on my list to try.

    Caramel Apple Chai Blueberry Peach Crumb Bar
    Sebastian P.

    Great spot for a quick bite and warm beverage on a cold Sunday morning in Baltimore. Looks like they have a variety of other really good menu items available as well. Have only tried breakfast. Service is super quick and the space has a great vibe. The peach and blueberry crumb cake is a 10/10.

    Came in 2-3 weeks ago and got the best bacon egg and cheese sandwich with pepper jelly. I got it how it came but thought my bacon could had been crispier. I try not to order bacon extra crispy bc sometimes at other places it comes out burnt. So I came back today and decided to to try out the extra crispy but my egg was undercooked with yolk coming out *yuck*. I was so sad bc I only could eat the other half with bacon and some cheese but none of the good pepper jelly. I tried to enjoy my carrot cream cheese muffin which I thought was going to taste like carrot cake but tasted like a a carrot muffin not sweet and not good. On my drive from Doobys to my job I did enjoy my cold brew even though u asked for it to be extra sweet it was not in fact I watched the guy make it and I don't believe he even looked at the instructions on extra sweet but the coffee itself was good and for 4 dollars I'm not too upset. Going forward I think I won't order online but will come in and order to make sure my food is prepared to my liking. Oh well try again another saturday. Edit: I called Doobys and told them I was displease with my sandwich and they refunded me even tho it takes 3-5 days

    Matchamisu
    Michelle B.

    - I walked here so not sure how parking is in the area but there's a ton of space to sit down w/ friends or study - matcha latte 3/5 I got this at the 1st sweetness level (I'm told there are 3 levels available). It did taste like matcha but I think it could have been stronger. Overall not the best or worst I've had in Baltimore. - matchamisu 4.5/5 This is a matcha tiramisu where the coffee that is traditionally in a tiramisu is substituted w/ matcha. It was very filled with matcha and tastes sweet. I gave it 4.5 instead of 5 because it can get to be too sweet after a few bites but I just saved it in my fridge for later. Definitely recommend this.

    I've recently started working in the area and they are supper close thus I decided to try them out…read more I was very excited when I saw it was Korean owned however their K-food section is only two items; Bulgogi Dupbap & the Bulgogi Sub. The rest of the menu is American stuff. I've as of now tried both of these and very content with the taste and filling of these two, the price is reasonable per the portion and yummyness($12.49) plus tax about $13.25. The only thing I would change a bit is making sure that the juice from the bulgogi doesn't soak the bread too much cuz then it's mushy. I like a crunchy texture to my subs, but the may be just my preference. Both the son and the mom are super nice, if you become a regular it's very nice to have people know what you want right away. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. I hope that they can incorporate more korean food to their menu, at least 2 more that have a different protein so we have a bit more variety. Though I understand why the options for kfood are limited given the area's population. Things to keep in mind: - When you order let them know if you want it to go or to eat there. Nobody can read minds, but they will do their best to ask you prior to packaging to confirm. - It can get busy so sometimes transaction may take longer because people are multitasking. - - - Don't rip out the receipt, you might be taking the wrong copy. Wait for the cashier to hand it to you or simply ask. -If you have questions about a product, ask them and don't assume. Yes. There is a big menu and pamphlets available and they provide brief item description but if that's not clear, just ask. They also have prepackaged salads, fruit and a few sweet treats, along with MissVickies chips, and bottle drinks. It's a cafe so the basics. Overall, really nice experience. Tots recommended :3

It was so good that my dad and I repeatedly visited every morning while in Baltimore. The waitress was soo friendly and kind. The first day we just did take out to get a sandwich and coffee. She filled up my dad's coffee mug for $1 which was super nice. She also explained the menu and was very accommodating. The food was great as well. We ordered a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a bacon and onion sandwich. Both were made to perfection and fast. They made sure our order was brought to us in a swift manor. The coffee was delicious as well. Really strong but it was great to start the morning. The ambiance was nice. They had great signage outside for take out and for the sit in dining experience. Once you walk in you will feel at home and comfy. They also offer outside seating in front of the diner which is nice on a nice day. We sat outside on our last day and the owner came and set up the umbrella and ensured we did not anything else. It was a great experience. If you are in downtown Baltimore I suggest you check it out!

We started things off with the appetizers, and the Hot Honey Fried Chicken Deviled Eggs were absolutely phenomenal. Easily one of the best things we ordered. They were so good that I honestly could've eaten an entire order by myself and been perfectly happy. We also tried the house-made cornbread. Their version was a little different from what I'm used to and almost gave me French toast stick vibes. The consistency was good and it definitely wasn't bad, just a different take on cornbread than I expected. Between the two appetizers, though, I'm choosing those deviled eggs every single time. For my meal, I ordered three scrambled eggs with cheese, Cranberry Maple Turkey Sausage, shredded hash browns, an everything biscuit with cream cheese, and pancakes. Everything was good, but those pancakes were easily the star of the meal. Honestly, some of the best pancakes I've ever had. Perfect consistency, fluffy in the middle with slightly crispy edges, and flavorful enough that you really didn't need much syrup. The eggs were solid -- simple scrambled eggs with cheese done right. The Cranberry Maple Turkey Sausage was really, really good as well. I'm personally not a huge fan of shredded hash browns because I prefer home fries or diced breakfast potatoes, but that's more of a texture preference than anything being wrong with them. I'm also not much of a bagel person, so I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the everything biscuit, but surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. My lady ordered the brisket skillet, which had brisket, scrambled eggs, shredded potatoes, peppers, and everything mixed together. Very flavorful, and the portion was definitely generous. For drinks, she had the Pineapple Coconut Colada, which was good and definitely had a heavy pour that day. I had Shirley's Crush. I'm already a big fan of orange crushes, and theirs was really good -- flavorful, refreshing, and they definitely weren't stingy with the alcohol. Our waitress, Melissa, was amazing. Very attentive, helpful, friendly, and she took great care of us throughout the entire meal. Great service can really add to an experience, and she definitely did that for us. I honestly don't have any real complaints about Miss Shirley's. The food was good, the service was excellent, portions were generous, and there were so many other things on the menu that caught my attention. I already know I'll be going back so I can start scratching some more items off the list. The only downside worth mentioning is parking, but that's pretty normal for a city location. There's a parking garage directly across the street, which is extremely convenient, but we paid around $24 for maybe an hour and a half to two hours. A little pricey for that amount of time, but I guess you're paying for the convenience of being literally across the street. Overall, my first experience was a solid 5 out of 5. I can only speak for my visit, but the food, drinks, service, and overall experience were all on point. Definitely recommend, and I'll definitely be back.
